Childhood Match
Mas Latitude... I'm Coming

His last encounter with Lintang completely rendered Gendhis sleepless. During the night he continued to think about the drastic change in attitude and seemed to want Gendhis to give more than what he had been giving. But before, Lintang never did that.

In the past, when he was about to hold his fingers Lintang hesitated, because it was certain Gendhis would run like a chicken chased by a ferret, but now... Lintang always say want to hug, embrace, and surely those words are the source of their quarrel. I don't know in what way Gendhis will give him understanding.

"Gendhis... You daydream?" instantly Ita's voice broke her daydream.

"Heyy... When did it come? I didn't see you coming" said Gendhis, who was sitting on the porch of the campus mosque as he waited for his next course.

"Obviously you are not squirming, your people are just daydreaming again. Emang... daydreaming what the hell?" Ita curious.

"Not really dodging." Gendhis.

"What's the name if you don't dream?" ask Ita.

"Just think about it." replied Gendhis.

"Think but wishful thinking everywhere? Same thing, Dis... Dis.." said Ita.

Not yet finished their conversation, suddenly Gendhis phone rang. Soon he opened and it turns out there is an incoming message through whatsapp from Lintang.

"I'll wait for seven o'clock at Caffe La Guna as usual. Don't be late and dress up the beautiful one, okayy... Yea..."

Gendhis was astonished to read the message. Just a few minutes ago he was thinking about Latitude, and it turned out... Lintang knew what Gendhis was thinking.

"Alhamdulillah.. turns out what I think about Mas Lintang ahir-ahir is wrong. it turns out Mas Lintang still loves me, thinking of me... it's been a long time since I've heard Mas Lintang speak so sweetly." said Gendhis in his heart.

He was happy, finally Lintang could understand his heart. Gendhis face was cheerful, and he smiled at the message.

"Heyy... Gendhis. If the smile rhymes dong, time hp invited smile anyway." said Ita teasingly.

Besides Gala, the first time he knew a friend on this campus was Ita. No wonder the two are so familiar.

"Udah yuuuk... to the class later late" said Gendhis while putting the phone back in his bag.

The two eventually walked away from the campus mosque to the lecture hall. While on the way, Ita said,

"Oh. Yes Dis, I forgot to make the task Mr. Gala, even though this is already the deadline of November 20. haduuuh. Can destroy my reputation in front of Mr. Ganteng." It looks panicked.

"What's? It's November 20th Ta?" Gendhis was surprised not to play. Not because he has not done the task, but he just remembered that tomorrow November 21 is the birthday of Lintang.

"What date is it?" It was back to asking.

"Thank you Ta. You are already nervous" said Gendhis to his best friend.

"What's? So you haven't done a job yet? Oh my god... a gendhis that loh, the most popular exemplary beautiful student on campus has not made the task? Wow.. wow, get ready I fell in reputation before Mr. Ganteng.

"IIiiihhhh. Who says I haven't done a job. It's all right yaaa. stay collected" said Genphis.

"Then... I ngingetin what dong? How did you say thank you..." Ita was curious and did not understand what Gendhis said.

"Udah, no papa. Yuuk.. hunted to class. he said he lost if he missed his class Mr. Gala." Gendhis drew Ita's hand to speed up his pace.

In Gendish's heart he said,

"Oh... So the story Mas Lintang nih who want to make a surprise for me? I forgot that tomorrow is your birthday. But not anymore. Pantes aja ntar malem you are sure I meet in Caffe usually. And... let's see, who has the most success in making a surprise, me? Or are you my latitude?"

At 15:00 WIB Gendhis finished college. He immediately called his parents to let them know that today he was going home a little late. Not to go traveling, but to meet the Latitude as Latitude said through the message earlier.

Ms. Sari... Mothers... Gendhis. His favorite son-in-law candidate has indeed won his heart Bu Sari, until when Gendhis permission any time there is a name called Lintang will definitely be approved. Just... Mr. Ratno was a little worried. Especially if Gendhis had to get out of the malls, it was completely out of his habit. Therefore Mr. Ratno decided to pick up Gendhis in front of Kalegen Market, the limit of many people passing by at night. After passing through the market, the road to Kampung Merangi is very quiet. He doesn't want anything to happen to his daughter. Therefore, Mr. Ratno called Gendhis and gave him a year that he would be picked up tonight.

"What else do you want to buy, Dis?" tanya Ita after finishing driving Gendhis went to buy gifts for Lintang.

"This is enough" replied Gendhis, carrying several bags of gifts and a stel of clothes for him.

He did not intend to go home late before, so he did not bring a change of clothes. Moreover, according to the message of latitude... Genthis should look pretty tonight. So it is not appropriate, if clothes for college are used again for dinner.

"Yes, we're going home now" Ita said.

While waiting for the night time, Gendhis rested at the Ita boarding house which was only a few meters away from Untidar.

After finishing the Maghrib Gendhis prayer get ready to leave. Although with makes up sober, also peach colored Muslim dress in line with the hijab cover the chest that he bought this afternoon, did not dampen his natural beauty. The beauty of Gendhis was not only his face, but his heart. Although she did not preen with thick makeup, did not show her curves, but the beauty was still radiated like the sun in the morning.

"Subhanallah... Mas Lintang must have been amazed when he saw you later." praise Ita after seeing Gendhis finished changing clothes.

"You can be Ta.." replied Gendhis with a flushed hue on the cheek.

At 18.30 WIB Gendhis departed from the boarding place to Caffe De La Guna in front of Akmil. He decided to leave his motorcycle at the boarding house and asked Ita to drive him to the front of Caffe, because after Caffe later let it be a Latitude affair. Both of them went to Caffe.

*****

The Dormitory of Akmil...

Lintang is preparing to go to celebrate the birthday that he has planned very mature with some of his friends, except Arnold. Every time there is an IB, Arnold never once absent to return to Jakarta. Understandably, there now he already has a new lover as he wants.

Tonight will be special for the latitude. He has never celebrated a birthday party in the city with his fellow cadets. Therefore, he was dressed very perfectly, handsome and also neat.

At 18.45 WIB Lintang already in Caffe for all party preparations. Starting from the check menu, decorations are also places that he has booked before.

Five minutes later, his friends began to arrive. One thing that can not be missed, namely. dr. Gabby.

Latitude was so stunned to see Gabby's beauty that night. Her hair was unraveling, black and wavy. Wear a maroon-red evening gown over the knees with short sleeves and a slightly open chest. The curves of his body look so clear because his clothes look more like clothes that have not been finished but he has been wearing. However, it is undeniable, Lintang likes it... He even proudly stood with Gabby and flaunted her in front of his peerless friends. To the extent that he forgot, that the message he sent last afternoon did not reach Gabby's number. 😭😭😭
